The pondweed they are trying to kill dies and floats to shore by mid July. By the end of July its all gone.
This stuff usually starts growing under the ice and by the muskie opener is nearly reaching the surface. This year the pondweed was way behind normal. I like fishing near it when it hasn't been sprayed, it really seemed to attract all kinds of fish. Fishing for walleyes near it some years is good fishing.
The dead/decomposing CLP causes algal blooms, including the blue algae which is harmful to human and animal health. Which is why many lake associations want to spray to remove it.
I'm not pro or anti spraying for CLP, I can see both viewpoints (angler vs property owner). |
